Document Summary
The attempt to measuring intelligence began with sir francis galton. Galton created a set of 17 sensory tests. Anthropometrics: the methods of measuring physical and mental variation in humans. Galton"s approach to measuring intelligence was generally abandoned due to the find by cattell: cattell found that higher sensory did not predict scores on. Alfred binet argued that intelligence should be indicated by more complex thinking processes, such as memory, attention and comprehension. Intelligence: the ability to think, understand, reason and adapt to or overcome obstacles. Mental age: the average intellectual ability score for children of a specific age. Stanford-binet test: a test intended to measure innate levels of intelligence. Intelligence quotient (iq): calculate by taking a person"s mental age, dividing it by his chronological age and then multiplying by 100. Terman adopted william stern"s concept of the intelligence quotient or iq. Wechsler adult intelligence scale (wais): the most common intelligence test in use for today in adolescents and adults.
